FbH

PID Feedback Loss (High)

The analog input programmed for PID feedback has risen above 21 mA. This occurs when the PI feedback source is incorrectly installed, not working, or has a wiring issue. The drive's response to this condition is controlled by parameters b5-12 and b5-13.

FbL

PID Feedback Loss (Low)

The analog input programmed for PID feedback has fallen below 3 mA. This occurs when the PI feedback source is incorrectly installed, not working, or has a wiring issue (wire break). The drive's response to this condition is controlled by parameters b5-12 and b5-13.

Flow Rate Limit

Flow Rate Limit

The drive output speed is being limited due to the Flow Rate (U1-83). This condition indicates that the system flow is either excessively high or low, triggering the internal limiter.

GF

Ground Fault

A current short to ground exceeding 50% of rated current has been detected on the output side of the drive. This fault is enabled when L8-09 is set to 1. Persistent ground faults can indicate severe motor or cable damage.

HFB

The digital input configured for “Low Water Level” (H1-oo = 8F) is active. This fault indicates that the physical water level is low, the switch is faulty, or the input parameter P1-30 is incorrectly configured.

MSL

Net Master Lost

The MEMOBUS master has been lost, meaning no message has been received from the master within the time set in P9-26. This fault occurs when P9-27 (Network Recovery) is set to 3 (Fault MSL).

Uv3

Undervoltage 3 (Soft-Charge Bypass Circuit Fault)

The soft-charge bypass circuit has failed. This could be due to damage to the relay or contactor within the circuit, or the circuit exceeding its expected performance life as indicated by monitor U4-06.

Uv4

Gate Drive Board Undervoltage

A voltage drop has occurred in the gate drive board circuit, indicating insufficient power supply to the gate drive board. This fault is specifically detected in models 4A0930 and 4A1200.

VLTS

Volute-Thermostat Fault

This fault occurs when a digital input assigned to the volute/thermostat input (H1-0o = 88 or 89) is active, or if both volute/thermostat inputs are programmed simultaneously. Auto-restart is controlled by parameter L5-53.

WLL

Water Level Loss

An analog input programmed for setting 23 'WaterLvl/Suction' has dropped below 3 mA or risen above 21 mA for longer than 1 second. This indicates a problem with the level sensor or its wiring.

bAT

Digital Operator Battery Voltage Low

The digital operator's internal battery is low and needs replacement. This fault indicates that the operator may lose settings or functionality if the battery is not replaced.

bUS

Option Communication Error

The connection was lost after establishing initial communication with an option card, or no signal was received from the PLC. This fault is only detected when the run command frequency reference is assigned to an option card.

boL

Braking Transistor Overload Fault

The braking transistor reached its overload level, indicating excessive regenerated energy. This typically occurs due to an incorrect or undersized braking resistor, or aggressive deceleration settings.

dnE

Drive Disabled

The drive is disabled because the 'Drive Enable' function is configured to a multi-function contact input (parameter H1-OO = 6A), and this contact is currently open. This prevents the drive from operating, potentially indicating an improper control sequence.

voF

Output Voltage Detection Fault

A problem is detected with the voltage on the output side of the drive. This indicates damaged hardware, specifically an internal drive module MC / FAN overheat protection circuit board due to abnormal ambient operating power or temperature.
